Alexis Sanchez

I'll be singing fuck all.....just shout BOVVERED

will we be correct in singing 'theres only 1 greedy bastard'

No we will look like virgins considering what we have been built on. Just a simple Sanchez what's the score at about 4-0 will do for me.

I wonder if Sanchez will turn out like Bony did for us. Now that would be funny.

This signing is a panic buy for the rags. Watching us run rings around them at the swamp and go 12 points clear at the top of the league has probably shaken them to the core, maybe even more than the 1-6 game.

If Sanchez rediscovers his best form they will consider it money well spent. He wasn't brilliant in the confederations cup for Chile and his form on the whole has been awful for Arsenal this season, although that is probably due to him wanting a move.

They needed a big statement signing to appease their fan base and prove they are still top dog. Getting a player that looked nailed on.to sign for us will buy them time. The media will.lap it up and laud it as a brilliant bit of business, a coup as some are already doing this morning. The same when they won three second rate trophies last season, when the rags win them they suddenly become 'The treble' and titles, it is ludicrous but their brain dead fan base lap it up.

In the real world I'd much rather we brought in Fred and Aymeric Laporte to strengthen positions where we are a bit short. On a side note what a bonus that Fred can play DM, AM and left back, as Selwyn Froggitt would say "Magic"

I think so, and thank god we haven't got any greedy bastards playing for us. I only want players who play for the love of the club or manager.

Nothing ever happens for one reason and one reason alone and the Sanchez transfer is no exception. According to reports City detected a weakening of his wish to play for Pep and City as the season progressed. According to the NYT this is because City came to dominate the PL more and more, largely as a result of stellar performances from exactly those players occupying the positions Sanchez was hoping to play in. He became increasingly concerned about the pitch time he would get and his agent contacted United. Ed Woodward's transfer policy has never seemed exactly clear sighted or particularly constructive and seems to have been dominated by nothing more than a desire to score a point off City, so he was receptive to the jaw dropping financial package offered. City was still Sanchez's preferred destination so his agent informed our club of the terms United would agree to but when City refused to budge on the package agreed in August, because, quite frankly, we don't need him as much as we thought we would and we don't want players who agree a deal then try to renegotiate, and ended their interest, Sanchez was left with no option other than a humiliating climb down and a longer stay at the Emirates, where he really isn't wanted.

So, the really important points to grasp are the City pulled out of the deal for a variety of reasons. The money may well be a consolation to Sanchez and his agent but his main reason was that he was very unsure of his place at city. For United it certainly does not show they are "a bigger club than City" (what does this actually mean, anyway?) or any of that nonsense but rather that their transfer policy has much less to do with building a genuine team than trying to steal the back page (dear to rags' hearts) from City.

Delusion doesn't begin to explain it.
